Hey Random

[dim crag]

Hello

[torn star]

yes I have WoNY and done the story

[idle linden]

How do I get iron works base materials?

[storm viper]

does the ninja bike backpack drop

[dim crag]

It does

I dunno why you would want it tho

Unless it's for exotic components

[idle linden]

is it a weekly reset thing?

or can i rerun it right now and instantly get it?

[fallow inlet]

If you have not run it yet then run it , if you have then you have to wait till next week

Next Tuesday

[true elbow]

where do i find negotiators delima gear

[fallow inlet]

Run cd and target loot

[true elbow]

cd?

[loud saddle]

countdown game mode

[worldly shadow]

is the season pass worth it? also how much is it? are there certain rewards i cant obtain at all elsewhere?

[viscid dagger]

The paid pass track is cosmetics /keys and caches only
NO gear Or anything that changes gameplay

[true elbow]

wait what is countdown exactly

[viscid dagger]

Also it's 9.99 whatever ur currency is

[worldly shadow]

okay so i dont need to buy it

[viscid dagger]

Only if you want cosmetic stuff

[worldly shadow]

thank you

[loud saddle]

countdown is a game mode where up to 8 players have a 15 minute timer to complete multiple objectives, some having some slight mechanics to them, and then call for extraction. this mode also awards players a currency they can use outside the mode to purchase items from a vendor, selling gear, caches, etc.

[true elbow]

big thanks to you

[fallow inlet]

Countdown

[worldly shadow]

what achievements can i miss out on if i go straight to WoNY after i beat the main campaign

[viscid dagger]

Don't think you miss out on anything if you already beat the base game and go to wony
Only miss out on stuff if you boost immediately to wony

[worldly shadow]

i see, thank you

[true elbow]

how do you target loot

[loud saddle]

you can target loot via map, select countdown icon and should see a button indicator at bottom of screen saying to press for target loot and you can select desired target, identical to how you do it for summit. or if already in the game mode, you can pause game and should see a tab to select target loot that way as well.

[true elbow]

1 TY for telling me loot 2 where the vendor

[snow trellis]

today is Day 2 of golden bullet. How do I activate it? I totally forgot

[viscid dagger]

It's always active after the first time unless you deactivated it

Scroll to golden bullet event in the seasons menu, open it and it'll prompt you to activate it

[somber nymph]

You have to open up the season menu and scroll all the way to the right.

[loud saddle]

countdown vendor can be found at white house across from the raised helipad, next to season vendor. (it's just a lone laptop)

[turbid igloo]

Is vector good for Hunter's Fury

[fierce raven]

is yall roosevelt invaded bugged too?

[snow trellis]

I will try. my game keep freezing and I have to force close it all the time

[loud saddle]

in what sense? what're u experiencing?

[fierce raven]

i got rogues in the yellow box area i killed them then i had the area where i had to destroy fuel tank (non invaded) and in the area after that i killed everyone but i couldnt open door and nobody spawned

i even scanned and it says no threat detected

[loud saddle]

@sage badger

[loud saddle]

that's a pretty common bug with rogue encounters in some missions honestly. sometimes it'll keep progressing, sometimes u gotta restart mission.

happens in tombs alot from what I hear....

[fierce raven]

oh i see

yea i got that bug too they spawned in morgue and it got stuck

[naive solstice]

so, how the hell beat nemesis, no matter solo, duo, trio, it seems impossible to defeat them

[turbid igloo]

What's the difference between tactical vector and vector

[loud saddle]

having fire ammo in ur pistol helps to CC them, as well as having someone with foam. those are a big help in keeping them locked down so other (or yourself) can just burn them down while they're stuck in place.

[fierce raven]

should me stability or something

i use dark winter or vector 9mm

[naive solstice]

hmm, sure, but still, they shit on us with all those skills.
they mimic 100% our gear and talents? so if we dont have skills, they dont have skills?

[turbid igloo]

I don't think that without the back part would give such estability

[loud saddle]

they mimic your first choice in skills or something, but yeah. choosing skills like seekers or turrets/drones can be a PITA.

especially hives can be a pain at times

[naive solstice]

yeah, so does anyone know if nemesis mimic us with ALL SKILLS, ALL WEAPONS and ALL TALENTS or something specific?

i'd basically wait with some stuff after nemesis but we cant pass him no matter what

[fierce raven]

its our simulation so should be

[naive solstice]

so if we pick no skills at all, they'll not have sills?

[naive garnet]

Are there any changes into Conflict regarding the cover system or the pulse mechanism?

[fierce raven]

i think it takes only talents

cuz they get random skills

when i got there they had sniper turrets and no guy in my squad had it

[fierce raven]

i think so

[naive garnet]

Like you cant get into cover or use pulse?

[loud saddle]

bug(s), will be fixed next title update....

[rugged stratus]

I'll save that, tyvm

[loud saddle]

np, not done with it yet but getting there

might add some more to it as well, who knows

[torn tangle]

anyone know if they nerfed Burn tick duration ? feel like things just dont burn for same time

[fierce raven]

do u have same mods on it?

[rugged stratus]

Duration affected by status and firewall

[snow trellis]

if you reach the max stat gears and guns and change game difficulty to Heroic and above, your gears and guns do not scale right? Nor the drops you get from missions of higher difficulty?

[rugged stratus]

Did you switch some status rolls to haste

[torn tangle]

nope, same gear. Trying to find more status effect though.

[rugged stratus]

You can use perpetuation to increase your duration. There is a named rifle i use all the time but the name escapes me atm

Just have to 1tap a head and you get 40% regular or 50% perfect perpetuation

[rugged stratus]

Are you using firewall

[lilac remnant]

i used vector( favorite wepon irl ) and liked it alot. i switched to banshee/mpx and it was was better. can get 2/3 kills on heroic vs 1 kill 2 reloads on vector

[rugged stratus]

Everlasting gaze is perfect perpetuation

[turbid igloo]

Vector is also my fav weapon

[rugged stratus]

Dont know how I forgot that

[torn tangle]

if thats shield, no. Chem and hive

[rugged stratus]

Firewall spec

It includes the shield. But a perk is 20% burn duration iirc

[torn tangle]

oh no im ehm tech

[turbid igloo]

Imagine shooting with that little good boy

[torn tangle]

everlasting gaze, i googled it xD DZ drop 💔

[rugged stratus]

Tech for golan gear?

[fierce raven]

if u going flame skill then go firewall

[rugged stratus]

Use new set for status and go firewall

The gaze can drop from named caches.
How I got mine. I still have 2 dz undiscovered 😅

[torn tangle]

ive been running the eclipse from the sheet. Guess il go for the new electric stuff

[rugged stratus]

Yeah its naturally yellow so easier to farm than the golan

[fierce raven]

i still use eclipse

[torn tangle]

and il switch to firewall. Thank you so much guys 😄

[rugged stratus]

Same eclipse is 😍

[fierce raven]

i use eclipse vile and the new gear set as gloves

[rugged stratus]

I'm so lazy my burn set is wyvern vile

[torn tangle]

until i found fire build, i was jumping between so many other builds to find one i liked... I almost gave up.. then i Saw the LIGHT ! (might have been burning npcs.. but its Light none the less)

[fierce raven]

i use eclipse fire build and then elmo nd full red

[rugged stratus]

But I have a golan creeping with high hazpro for cd. Like 79% disrupt resist and and 70% everything else

For cc

I need to farm a chest for elmo. I'm also ND for dps, but spotter wont work with elmo🤣

[rugged stratus]

It's so good for these league speedruns

Try it with riot foam

[fierce raven]

u could go support with it

[torn tangle]

stumbling upon NPC coming out of a door for a patrol.. Just throwing chem launcher and shooting it. Seeing them all burn.. Never felt more like a pyromana joker

[rugged stratus]

Lol nice. Do you know about double clicking skill button to ignite chem.

[torn tangle]

😮

[rugged stratus]

Some dont is why I ask

[torn tangle]

you serious 😮

[tiny stump]

yeah double tap

[rugged stratus]

Hell yeah

[torn tangle]

ive been throwing and shooting... Now.. i will really watch the world burn 😄

[rugged stratus]

Lay all spawn doors and set them up at same time

[fierce raven]

first time seeing this

[arctic frigate]

I have this issue in my last 4 run in descent when i try to go to the next room, and door is keeps shut down in front of me, and also behind.. anyone has the problem before? Literally im stuck in the middle of 2 rooms..and need to leave descent…..

[fierce raven]

i had it too theres nothing u can do just relog

[rugged stratus]

It's a game changer. My only problem with the chems is when I hit my teammate and immediately down myself 🤣 🤣

[fierce raven]

i love the airbust when its bugged and it opens at you and u just get that one tap 12M dmg

[lilac remnant]

when an exotic drops in dz and i dont pick it up how long does it stay there till i pick it up?

[fierce raven]

i like how u die to one hit from your skill but it takes few minutes for enemies to die

[fierce raven]

should be until u leave dz

[arctic frigate]

damn..thats really annoying. Hope the dev fix this asap. I have a really good build every time, but.. some ‘checkpoint’ system is maybe?!

[fierce raven]

could be

i only hate the no save thing

[torn tangle]

dude, you have no idea how many times ive died in Groups due to people running front of launcher and then shooting so it lands basically at my feet etc xD

handle bullets and rushers, sure... Fire? nope

[rugged stratus]

Yeah. They usually shooting when I do it so no time to roll out the way 😄

[bold fulcrum]

I heard that there is a tier 4 descent path here how do I get that?

Cause I've seen the leaderboard with people having either tier 3 or 4 of descent here

[slender hearth]

Somebody knows how to activate Golden Bullet in Year 5. I can`t find. It is not like usually.

[torn tangle]

think its a bug, i keep getting it now and then too . "golden bullet event" notification. But its not active

[slender hearth]

Makes sense. It was just in Season 11.

[torn tangle]

to borrow a quote from Blizard.. "its working as intended" 😛

[fierce raven]

its in the season at the end

should be able to start it when u click on it

[torn tangle]

what.-.

i thought it was over... Oh my ...

[fierce raven]

they said they adding it again

cuz of 1 day of mainterance

its on from yesterday

[torn tangle]

Time to get cracking then 😄 !!

[fierce raven]

i have elmo with 1000 rpm

with golden bullet its bk 2x more

[torn tangle]

thats awesome man! Ive been slacking big time last few days just messing around with build. WIll be clearing CPs and stuff now though like i was a super-sayin version of the duracell bunny with Pyro tendencies

[somber crown]

Is this supposed to be there Oo

Its floating in the air while clipping through the shed

[torn tangle]

i must be blind or tired or something, i dont see anything wrong xD

feel like im looking for waldo in a book thats not "where is waldo" . What am i looking at ?

[nimble spruce]

the yellow crane in the first picture I think - front is floating, back is clipping through the wire mesh area

[torn tangle]

oooh

[worldly shadow]

what should i do after i hit level 30? im going for platinum and dont have WONY yet but i want to get a maybe half decent build together for the brief time i dont have the dlc

[dense spoke]

Invasions and bounties

Not much to do besides getting your gear level up to move to the next world tier

[worldly shadow]

alrighty

[foggy needle]

base game is only about 1/4 of the actual game/ stuff. the rest is lockd behind WONY.

[worldly shadow]

yeahhh im planning on getting it as SOON as i can

i may try and get a playstation gift card since my dads card isnt linked anymore (im paying for it tho)

[idle linden]

Any pro tips on where i can find rogue agents?

[twin cliff]

Can someone help me with Xbox division 2 audio? It started in descent when my game started to get kinda buggy, then ever since then i couldnt hear anything in the game other than ISAACS voice. Any idea of how to fix this?

[foggy needle]

FYI it goes on sale very often too, so keep an eye out!

[foggy needle]

they are fully random. you can kinda force them in summit when you load a floor. but boring AF (reload the floor if you dont hear their music/ effect)

[idle linden]

i really need 1 rouge kill for my ridgeways pride its literally the oly thing left

but i tried for 10 minutes and couldnt get them to spawn in summit like that

[unborn kindle]

Does anyone know if the Ninja bike backpack is available for ground loot and the summit

[idle linden]

do they only spawn on specific floors?

[rugged stratus]

Any floor

Randomly spawn at cp and sometimes in missions as well

[foggy needle]

any floor but they are a random spawn from even procs (ie start of a summit floor, 2nd room of a mission, completing a world event, etc, stuff like that

[foggy needle]

unknown still, might be bugged still. but it is in exotic caches though (dont need to own the blueprint for it)

[snow trellis]

the appearance difference between these two mods means one is for gear and other for utility skills?

I cant wrap my head around why there different icons with the same buffs/bonuses

[naive solstice]

different slot at skill

[snow trellis]

what do you mean?

[naive solstice]

so you have 2-3 slots on skill, each slot has its specific mod usage

[thorn hedge]

potato thats misinfo lol

[naive solstice]

so you can put kdef. prot:stamina only illn first slot, not second

[thorn hedge]

when the game first released, being prior to WONY, there were multiple types of gear types

gear mod types i should say

protocol and system for both types

they had separate mod slots

[naive solstice]

well thats deeper now

[wispy merlin]

for all intents and purposes, they all work the same now

[thorn hedge]

^ this

they just didnt change the name / icon because there was no real point to do it

[snow trellis]

You mean this part?

[snow trellis]

ohhh so they are the same thing? like if I have two mods with diff icons same stats I can decon one without worry?

[thorn hedge]

ye, but in the early days of the game any item could have mod slots or not. it was very weird

[thorn hedge]

yeah pretty much. the only difference existed when the game first came out

[snow trellis]

thank you very much. I was keeping one of each icon thinking they might be of use on specific gears oh well

[thorn hedge]

nah thats how it used to work

[snow trellis]

at the current stage of my gameplay the mod sorting is the MOST tedious part -_-
filter them > sort them > decon them

[thorn hedge]

its easy late endgame

if not max then deconstruct

[snow trellis]

yeah... I only have 2 maxed so far (skill DMG and Haste)

[thorn hedge]

first ive seen this lol (im not maxxed)

[snow trellis]

When you equip a mod on one type of tool (like turret) it will be applied to all types of them? you dont need to apply mods to every single variant of that tool correct?

[thorn hedge]

yepo

[snow trellis]

thanks

but...

I need to keep mods for each type just in case I use them like sniper Ammo +1 or Burn Damage?

such a user friendly game

I wish we could mod each tool specifically so we could get rid of the extra mods easier and clean up 100 mod space

[thorn hedge]

keep one skill mod of each type thats it

[snow trellis]

you mean this right?

[thorn hedge]

gear mods are for gear, like chestplate / mask / backpack

that will be attached to the individual item

skill mods are attached to each skill of its type

[boreal mural]

Ahh the days of when that mattered

[proud vessel]

hola busco 3 personas para hacer las condecoraciones de las misiones de a 4 sin morir

[true siren]

english only please

[viscid dagger]

@thorn hedge only pic I got

[thorn hedge]

i believe you

thats terrifying'

arena or?

[viscid dagger]

Normal hard room I believe

[thorn hedge]

yikes

[viscid dagger]

Which was why we were surprised

[boreal mural]

3 players 💀

[viscid dagger]

Wym

That's the group size I've had the best luck with

Maybe it was just the players and my rng
Cuz the randoms I was with were actually good and not missing braincells

[worldly shadow]

what specialization should i get? i dont have WONY i dont know if that means anything but idk what i should get

[thorn hedge]

it depends on your playstyle

[snow trellis]

he was too cocky so I put him on the rails :D

[olive hearth]

ouch, he got bent

[snow trellis]

🤣

[heady stirrup]

How many decent audio logs are currently available? I beat the nemesis but I still have the weekly challenge

[strange meteor]

Is shield no longer good in pvp? Because in dz i just come across defender drone/hologram, chicken dance to win and when if i use striker/crusader shield, seems like a big disadvantage when people just keep their mobility and line u up.

[worldly shadow]

can you give me some like general guidelines? idk how to classify my playstyle

[olive hearth]

Sharpshooter: headshots with single fire weapons
survivalist: status effects
Demolitionist: explosive skills
Gunner: general weapon dps
Technician: Free skill tier (basically all other skill builds)
Firestarter: up close shield with smg or shotty

[worldly shadow]

gunner or firestarter seem up my ally

i actually use the shield rn

and i like smgs a lot

[snow trellis]

he is so chill xD

[mellow trout]

Is it garbage rng or does every c7 drop with overflowing

[thorn hedge]

im curious how thisll work

[thorn hedge]

they do

every stoner lamg also drops with overwhelmed

[viscid dagger]

The only use I've gotten for cavalier rn is making a much easier backfire build that negates the bleed

[thorn hedge]

? just use ninjabike kneepads

[viscid dagger]

Yea I never cared for using them

[mellow trout]

Ah so its gotta roll with dttooc

[thorn hedge]

mhm

[thorn hedge]

before they changed the recal system, it was the only weapon with the talent

nothing else natively rolls with those two

[tranquil vortex]

anyone know what this person is doing? they where SHD 14k

[foggy field]

I'm 11k. It's doable

He could've ran one of the exploits too

[modest yarrow]

hey so is raid directives for just xp?

[foggy field]

You also get a better drop rate for targeted loot

[olive hearth]

thats the one shot head shot regulus build

or High end regulus

providence vest with glass cannon and backpack with vigilance is most likely Chainkiller with perfect headhunter

with dodge city holster and regulus pistol

[foggy field]

The chest piece is glass canon

[olive hearth]

nvm I see the icon now, its glass cannon

[torn tangle]

anyone else crashing when opening event ?

[olive hearth]

yep, just hold esc and it will close

[torn tangle]

ty

[hallow raptor]

There a people over 100k shd level. I’m almost 12k but been playing since beta. Only thing I ran was resource convoys for xp….

[boreal mural]

Did no one notice the fact this is a 5y

[tranquil vortex]

i was only asking why this high level was using this build idc about xp exploits

[tough marsh]

he ain't gonna achieve that with yellow cores

[olive hearth]

i.. didnt even notice that

[viscid dagger]

Lmao I just noticed that

[olive hearth]

i was tricked when I saw a mostly red distribution of attributes

thats an exploiter most likely

[steady terrace]

Show his stats

[viscid dagger]

Lol he even has future perfect on his shotgun

To get overcharge

[steady terrace]

He is also using improvised gear

Im honestly not able to grasp what is the end goal of that build apart from obvious one shot regulus

Only stats will tell what is happening there

[olive hearth]

i mean improvised gear can be worth using on gloves holster and kneepads for that extra mod and attribute slot

[steady terrace]

Skills also doesnt make any sense

[olive hearth]

90% protection from elites is hilarious

[wispy merlin]

as in... it works? because it doesn't as it's capped at 80%

[viscid dagger]

I have no idea what the that build is meant to be apart from dodge and regulus

[wispy merlin]

probably just there to be a pulse bot with the occasional dodge city one shot

[nimble night]

I'm wondering if there's a efficient way to farm outcast elites and btsu headshots

Already did all the mission speedruns and those two are the only things left to do

[viscid dagger]

Both at the same time not really
Outcast elites
Do heroic control points you'll get it in no time

[nimble night]

I never mean at the same time lol

[viscid dagger]

And for black tusk headshots
Do the invaded missions

[supple swift]

I hit 400million on a single shot with variation of that. The skill tier is for the achilles. busy bee is stacked first before hotswapping to regulus

[tough marsh]

interesting

[wispy merlin]

i don't think that's achilles

that the guy above equips

but if it is then i thought he was onto something

[supple swift]

In any case a variation of that build exists for Buddy and Lucy. I copied mine off of meow lol

[wispy merlin]

i asked him to teach me chameleon headhunter, waiting for replies

[supple swift]

Based

[supple swift]

Full stack busy bee, switch to foam to keep bee stacks while charging dodge, swap pistol to regulus without losing bee stacks and dch. Achilles, target.
300-500 million

[olive hearth]

typo on my part, missed the 8

[wispy merlin]

ahhh ok

[mystic portal]

how come perfect companion is a "vest" talent not a backpack???????

[loud saddle]

devs had an idea....

[supple swift]

Because devs intended it and decided it will remain so. Based on their pts notes.
Basically the usual fuckups

[mystic portal]

that means we can combine the named and non named talent. Roger that

Thanks for the help

[next sail]

I am in descent right now
I opened the door to next room and i am locked in a tunnel
Wtf lol ?

What am i supposed to do ?
Just log out ? To get out ?

[spring tundra]

i love this game.

[torn tangle]

@fierce raven @rugged stratus could you tell what cores you have ? trying to figure out If i should start optimizing or farm Eclipse\mods to get better.

[true elbow]

what should i do for a lmg build

[bright onyx]

can you get the new exotic AR from countdown ?

[olive hearth]

stiker or heartbreaker or even ongoing directive would probably be fine for lmg build

[true elbow]

like full striker and heartbreaker/

[olive hearth]

4pieces of gear

to get the full bonus of the respective gear set

pick one or the other

[torn tangle]

ehm if its the seasonal reward, one you get it from getting to certain level in the season track.

[true elbow]

any suggestion to other 2

[olive hearth]

you mean ongoing directive?

its just another gear set

[true elbow]

like how should the build be

LMG wise

[olive hearth]

i usually run big box lmgs (so like 100+ bullet version) to minimize reloads

[true elbow]

if you can, can you send a screenshow of your build

[olive hearth]

so my lmgs in the past would have bonus dmg to armor 2nd attribute and strained talent

ive kinda moved on from running lmgs so here is my remaining surviving build using lmg lol

carnage lmg with perfect sadist

[true elbow]

what lmg is that?

[olive hearth]

i was trying a bleed build which honestly was pretty bad, i need to switch out the vile mask for coyote and rotate around the chest and backpack pieces

[true elbow]

how much dmg you do

[olive hearth]

like burst dmg? or what are we talking bout

in heroic countdown i can only reach about 440 million dmg on avg

[stray spruce]

how to i reclibrate my my st elmo

[prisma violet]

u have to recalibrate at the crafting station

[prisma violet]

dps usually

[trim plover]

anyone know how to acquire the red skull LED mask? i saw online it was from an event, is that event recurring? or was it a limited thing?

[stray spruce]

is that like a gamble we have to take on all three or just one

i wanna change this 10 crit damage to damage to target out of cover

so its like random or can i pick

[rugged stratus]

Stsus effects everywhere ,
Skill damage/haste for 2nd

Mods skill haste

Fire can double dip skill damage and status effects

[lucid yew]

Limited to season 10 pass

[prisma violet]

u reroll all 3

[stray spruce]

brah

hell na i dont wanna do that my state are good what it fks up

[prisma violet]

but the core attributes are fixed

[stray spruce]

oh

and how many times can i do it

[prisma violet]

as in u cant change what attributes but it will change the roll

[lucid yew]

For the rest of your life

[prisma violet]

u can do it infinitely

[stray spruce]

someone told me i can do it only twice

[prisma violet]

nah

[olive hearth]

for the elmo and sacrum you can gamble the bonus attribute

these are the only 2 exotics that have random bonus attribute i think

[trim plover]

oof, thanks for letting me know

[stray spruce]

this will stay as it is
and only the attribute will change right

[prisma violet]

attribute will not change, percentage will change

[stray spruce]

oh

[olive hearth]

no you will gamble all 3 percentages

[prisma violet]

took me over 10 tries to get the roll i wanted

[stray spruce]

wait then why was someone telling me to take off the crit hit damage and put DTTOC on there

[prisma violet]

u can change the 3 attribute

not the first 2

[stray spruce]

ok and how do i do that u said at the crafting station

[olive hearth]

after getting the bonus attribute you want, u gonna need to use recalibration table to optimize ur roll

[lucid yew]

Yeah hopefully they will re release during seasons 2.0

[prisma violet]

go to exotic recalibration category in crafting station

should be near the bottom

[olive hearth]

dont forget to buy the reconfigure blueprint from Inaya

[prisma violet]

u get the reconfigure blueprint from the season pass lvl 91

[olive hearth]

huh, i learned something new

[stray spruce]

yeah i am 97 but i dont see the bp on inaya

[olive hearth]

you already have it then

[stray spruce]

how do i check what blueprints i have

[prisma violet]

u can check at crafting station lol

theres no list u can check other than there i think

[stray spruce]

oh right

dumb question xd

[prisma violet]

no worries bruv

[trim plover]

hopefully

[stray spruce]

@prisma violet oh btw there are ton shit of bps on inaya for exotics i have should i buy them all

[prisma violet]

why not

theres no downside

[stray spruce]

@prisma violet i am trying to find the recab for elmo on craft am i blind

i cant see it

[nova turtle]

this normal?

[olive hearth]

that looks... normal

[nova turtle]

its in my recal station and I used it and it stayed

[olive hearth]

i mean its one extra point of armor lol

[prisma violet]

u probably are blind

[olive hearth]

recal library always gonna show Max 170,001

[nova turtle]

than why did it stay when I used it

[prisma violet]

its always gonna be 170,001 for some reason

[olive hearth]

oh, recal library is permanent

[prisma violet]

🙃

[nova turtle]

it is?

[stray spruce]

yeah probably

[olive hearth]

if you recalibrate ur item using ur library stat, you dont consume ur library.

[prisma violet]

category should be below the diamond icon i think, in the crafting station

then its alphabetical from there

[olive hearth]

however you can only recalibrate one attribute on that item, you can keep recalibrating the same attribute, but only that slot. the other slots (including talent if applicable) will be locked

[past spoke]

You need to reconfigure with the blueprint, no recal for exotics

You should get the elmo bp at pass level 91

[sweet meadow]

is it me or the reviver hive is not working at all on open world content? and sometimes determind talent isnt working too

[mellow trout]

My hive works just fine

[sweet meadow]

mine isnt woking at all. i have golden bullet event on. havnt checked it while deactivated

[prisma violet]

is urs bugged across all characters or just one

[north pier]

Those chests with Electronics/Carbon/Steel/Ceramics e.t.c. that you find in the open world, when do they reset? I thought it was around 4AM GMT?

[fierce raven]

On eclipse status effect and skill haste

[wide juniper]

anyone else noticing the determined thing less consistent?

[torn tangle]

do you know if i can get skill dmg as second on every slot that has 2 Skill mods ?

[past spoke]

All high end gear should be rolled status effects + skill damage

All gearset pieces should roll status effects

[torn tangle]

oki, thank you !

[rugged stratus]

What frost said 👆
Can also stack on skill damage using capacitor ar/test subject ar/harmony rifle.
Extra status damage/duration from everlasting gaze or other perpetuation rifle

[knotty pumice]

hey guys, is there a bug on apparel caches? It says I got 1 from levelling, but it displays as 00 in my apparel tab

[rugged stratus]

Does it show different if you goto store > apparel caches instead if directly from apparel > apparel caches .
They display different quantity values depending on which way you go.
I haven't heard of them being bugged tho .

[rugged stratus]

Sry forgot to tag 👆

[knotty pumice]

thanks for replying.. no it seems to display 00 still

[north pier]

@inner tendon ^^

[torn tangle]

thank you

[torn tangle]

thank you

[naive solstice]

does burn status effect affect those big boys with armor and backpack, with miniguns or grenade launchers? and as well the machinegunners?

does burn affect only health or it destroys armor too?

[summer dragon]

For the Neurotic Hunter, do i need to do all the requirements prior to the final one in a single session?

[naive solstice]

for hunter mask? yes it has to be in same session

if you get alpha or any disconnect, you gotta repeat. sometimes it gets bugged halfway through, so you gotta reload session and repeat 😄

ah i see, thats the mask with Clock times, also advice is not to fast travel to any location after first button

[summer dragon]

WHAT

[naive solstice]

https://www.reddit.com/r/thedivision/comments/gi6im8/unable_to_spawn_the_hunter_for_the_neurotic_mask/

[summer dragon]

nooooo i already fast travelled to the church for the 7am timing

but i already activated that one so that should be fine right

[naive solstice]

well it doesnt work everytime, we did few time like that and it didnt worked

so we did running, waiting, and managed finally after few tries to do it

its the last location to destroy the yellow box at tower, right?

[summer dragon]

yes

am already jogging there

[naive solstice]

yeah, that last box sometimes get bugged, like, "already" destroyed so... repeat 🤣

[summer dragon]

game crashed

[naive solstice]

not sure if they fixed it

[summer dragon]

i hate this game sometimes

[naive solstice]

ouch, well, go again from 0

yeah, one of annoying masks to get

[summer dragon]

Im left with the night time masks

in NYC*

[rugged stratus]

It will burn most heavy other than flamethrower heavy that's immune.
Firewall shotty that reduces fire resistance can help you burn warhounds

Burn destroys armor and health. But in heroic/legendary it usually isnt strong enough to get through an elite+ . it would be more beneficial to be cc eclipse with creeping death/foam in that case or just run strong dps if solo

Fire is good in challenging and lower

[naive solstice]

dissagre that it fails in heroic. it works wonders, in team. even solo it goes great because theres no scaling.

so it works good against all except Cleaners?

also, skill damage initial first shot of skill and status effect affect duration of damage?

[rugged stratus]

It falls short and takes more prep to work in higher stuff.

[naive solstice]

sure, but its annoying to run always reddps or full dps builds for that tbh

[rugged stratus]

Skill damage and status affect the blast and tick strength. Status affects length yeah

I like running cc eclipse, scorp, foam, fire sticky. With creeping death on high stuff. It's like vegas with all the status icons

That build i spec status/haste/hazpro
Works great in cd with 79% disrupt resist

[naive solstice]

so, creeping death should be used in legendaries and content where npcs dont fall fast enough for eclipse bp?

[rugged stratus]

Fun non meta is getting rid of the ep bag and instead slot in memento for 120% additive damage, cap with its 60% additive.
When all the stars align with pickups that can burn stronger that stock. But very inconsistent if not getting trophy

[naive solstice]

creeping actually aggro shares statuses?

[rugged stratus]

Yeah cc isnt gonna be damage anyways.
It's more for team where others will take advantage of stuck noc

Creeping can give you secondary spread . Can give you essentially 8m foam radius or 23m spread if it triggers

[naive solstice]

yeah i see, did not know that, im not into legendaries yet tho

[rugged stratus]

I dont do them barely ever.

[naive solstice]

so EP bp is not nessecary then, with memento i could clear the spawns and pick trophies and get more damage?

[rugged stratus]

I mm most if the time anyways instead of organized team

[naive solstice]

but trophies drops for YOUR kills, so if i burn enemy and my teammate finishes it, it doesnt drop trophy even if it is assisted kill?

[rugged stratus]

It's how I used it for a good while. I would see sticky ticking between 700-800k if charged and short/long buff active. But wicked low while charging

Nope you have to get the kill, but if you kill something behind a door or inaccessible area the trophy drops directly on you and needs no pickup

Plus once charged you only need trophy every 5 mins to maintain long buff

[naive solstice]

so its pretty risky, punish/reward thing

[rugged stratus]

Exactly, it inconsistent and you can get caught with your pants down

[naive solstice]

guess it remains to get tried, i'll give it a go and see how im doing with it. with this build i run now, i own heroic basically

[rugged stratus]

But I used bleed hive as well that would hit really hard and I could drop it and move if I had something too close

[rugged stratus]

I wouldn't change it then tbh

[naive solstice]

https://prnt.sc/U9_6wHYdVc46

excatly, firestarter and hive

[rugged stratus]

Hive is a life saver. It's like 20m dmg in a pinch

[naive solstice]

• elmo
  hives are good against hard nuts, firestarters for cc and burn, while elmo hits shock and kills burned and bleeded enemy and it spreads all three statuses

[rugged stratus]

Yeah looks solid

[naive solstice]

best thing to do, run first, drop firestarter, ignite it, drop hive, and hit with elmo 😄

electrique gloves gives +20% SE and 19ž0% SD, wyvern gives 20% SD and 10% SE

[rugged stratus]

You might try harmony /test subject since you can get that damage boost anytime without cooldown

As secondary with elmo

[naive solstice]

harmony, i cant find anything about it

whats are talents? where to get, dz/named?

[rugged stratus]

Dz perfect in sync. 40% sd wd boost whit skill and weapon hit within 5 second of eachother

Test subject is same talent but drops anywhere

[naive solstice]

same as test subject?

[rugged stratus]

Yup

[naive solstice]

so its easier to use test subject then?

so test subject > everlasting gaze?

[rugged stratus]

Personally I like harmony because it doesnt eat the ammo. But test subject can easily fill the role if not spamming it

[naive solstice]

in my playstyle, i thing subject will be better, i love to move a lot and smash them in face tbh while everlasting needs headshot

[rugged stratus]

Ts will help your hive . Skill damage is a bit higher damage over status effects but doesnt affect duration

I use eg on my cc ep since no damage, harmony on fire/damage ep

[naive solstice]

i see, thanks for insight buddy

[rugged stratus]

Anytime 😎

[naive solstice]

ill try memento, test subject and creeping death variations

[rugged stratus]

Watch out with creeping foam tho. Stuff can get stuck way back in their spawn 🤣

[naive solstice]

but they can leave out when foam is done?

or game breaking stuck?

[rugged stratus]

No they call leave, it can sometimes slow things like in soeedruns

[naive solstice]

alright

btw, what causes effect duration?

is it possible to make build which increases duration instead damage?

[rugged stratus]

Just firewall for fire. Status effects, everlasting.

Skill duration mods only keep the cloud on ground longer

[naive solstice]

so no other things to increase enemies to keep statuses longer?

[rugged stratus]

Not afaik. But i would be interested if there was 👍

[naive solstice]

indeed, purely for CC build tbh

to keep the longer affected instead to deal damage to them overall

[naive solstice]

https://prnt.sc/EG3u7ioMJDMW

90% status + 10% skill eff

but no spreads. maybe glasscannon to creeping death maybe?

ah chest dont have creeping death talent?

[cedar schooner]

No. No reason to rewrite the wheel tbh, why not just use EP?

[rugged stratus]

Glass + ep bag is highest burn strength afaik but it's less spread

[rugged stratus]

Ninja would be a hard no tho. It will be a lot less.
Only reason memento could work is the 30-60% skill efficiency that breaks into max 60% sd 60% se . 60% haste . Cap if maxing it out adds another 60% sd
Plus whatever is in the attributes and watch

[naive solstice]

because i want to try new variants but seeing all yes and nos, guess EP is final

[torn tangle]

whats your gear setup currently ?

[naive solstice]

vile, 4ep, electrique gloves

[torn tangle]

and weapons ?

[naive solstice]

elmo and everlasting

[torn tangle]

oki 🙂 , using a sasg-12 shotty and capacitor, was thining of trying something else. Thanks for answering

[undone granite]

Hey guys I just finished the New York story and now I’m level 50 does I’m doing right bec I see other players there level about 1k and higher

[rugged stratus]

Once you're on shd that level always climbs

Welcome to endgame

[naive solstice]

electrique instead wyver because elec gives 10 se and wyv gives 10 skill damage

for weapons using elmo to apppy shock as well, and i think ill swap everlasting to test subject to test it. im running around like hheadless chicken mostly so i dont even use everlasting tho, only when accidentally scroll to it xD

[torn tangle]

its how i prefer to play too xD , my weaknesses is surprise groups and my own Rambo on redbull ego xD

[undone granite]

Thank u 🙏🏻

[naive solstice]

i realize, if i sit somewhere, im dead, less chance to roll around and smash firestarters all around. before elmo i was using capacitor, scorpio using only when im yoloing and having fun

and thank god for dps guys in group, enemies focus on them because of damage dealing 🤣

[torn tangle]

gave my elmos to my striker build char, didnt even know it did shock dmg.

and yeah xD Friendly npc can come in clutch

[zealous dirge]

does sweet dreams still only drop from outcast? and if so is it better to farm a outcast mission or just do countdown and farm caches still

[torn tangle]

no ideas if it drops "in open pool" but Roosevelt Island stronghold and Potomac Event Center mission is 2 places to go afaik

[naive solstice]

not npc, teammates in group.
yes, after 100 hits it refils mag with shock bullets

[torn tangle]

oh iplay solo when not in mission or SUmmit\countdown

so duno how that is but prolly fun ^^

[naive solstice]

imo its faster and easier in group, and more exp cuz more enemies come cuz of group scaling, if im not wrong.
indeed it is, using it on mz fullred dps too, seems to have better accuracy and handling than police m4

[torn tangle]

kinda wished they had a CP thing like with bounties

like Que up for CP. Then find people who also wanna do CP

i know i can call for backup but eeh

[naive solstice]

you can ask on chat and people will join

[summer dragon]

how long is an ingame hour in Div2

[loud saddle]

like 5 minutes or so? maybe just a hair longer?

[real cypress]

for a 6r high end build, is vigilance a must have? are there any alternatives?

[dim crag]

Vigilance is the best, you can also do things like Concussion or Unstoppable Force

[zealous dirge]

is sweet dreams really that bad of a shotgun? i wanted to make a build around it because i think it looks neat and the gimmick seems fun

[real cypress]

i think that its definitely good on a support build to punch a purple enemy to death but even so id prefer scorpio for the status and damage debuff

[snow trellis]

Mantis is a good sniper?

[inner tendon]

Mantis, White Death, Nemesis are considered the best 3 MMR's (snipers) in div2, in no particular order.

[zealous dirge]

so would it be run on like a true patriot build or something? or would you run hunters with it. I dont do much team content outside of countdown but i know countdown on heroic is like ONLY elites

[inner tendon]

Sweet Dreams/Lullaby is usually not a good idea due to the fact that even if you can 1-tap a non-Elite/Named enemy, there's usually more than 1 around and they will shoot you.

[zealous dirge]

that makes sense, i just wanted to run it for fun tbh, change it up ya know

does the one shot still apply if you melee with also using a shield?

[real cypress]

yep as long as you have the thing out

[real cypress]

i probably would not run it with HF because its a pump action shotgun, and would not even use it as a main dps weapon because it does not have any talent that would increase ur damage, i would just use super 90 with pummel instead

[zealous dirge]

🤔 alrighty

[real cypress]

with that said though, you can use anything and play as you please

[zealous dirge]

hopefully next season they introduce another shotgun exotic

all i know is that after i get one ima make a fucking stupid build with it anyways and just switch to scoripo if i really need it

[naive solstice]

Riven, here?

[inner tendon]

Always here.
you need something?

[naive solstice]

yes, question about descent nemesis

so, nemesis mimic us, right? WHAT they mimic excatly? skills, talents, weapons?

and does they pure mimic or use base of hunters?

[loud saddle]

I wish those mfers mimic'd talents....sits back and watches the nemesis fight against a tier 5 unhinged famas, shooting the international space station the kick is so hard 🤣

[naive solstice]

and so they would be watching you as well shooting the stations down 🤣

[inner tendon]

Skills and guns, from what I can tell.
have yet to open it yet.

[loud saddle]

indeed, worst decision I made....swapped from a police m4 to a famas, that rpm change just made unhinged hilarious for the next few rooms until I could get some handling to level it out. XD

didn't need to shoot the enemies, I shot the ceiling tiles out and killed em with the falling debris....

[naive solstice]

and how they damage outscales us no matter what? i mean, thats absolute crazy shooting at him and deal jalf armor damage while he shots and downs you

[loud saddle]

on a more serious note, Rivens maybe u can clarify if u know, I've heard they only mimic your first selection of skills (like if u swap a skill out later it wont mimic the new change? or so I've heard)

[naive solstice]

they still throws hives, turrets, drone, heals themselves and have bilion armor

and ofc golden bullet integrated into them

[inner tendon]

As I've yet to actually play it yet, all I know about it is that it's making it hard to google the mode since the MMR keeps showing up first.

[naive solstice]

there is basically no info on that mode, few videos only

[inner tendon]

There's plenty of posts about it, but it is less than 2 weeks old.

[naive solstice]

and from pts tho, i saw its changed a lot from pts

and many people thinks different about nemesis

thing is, i just want to enjoy loops without ending at nemesis. even after killing him, every new game, nemesis waits for you at loop 10+-

[loud saddle]

nemesis can be a breeze as long as u don't have those skills u mentioned above equipped and if each group member (or most possible) have some form of CC, even fire ammo in ur pistol is a good choice to lock them down and breeze through them fairly fast.

read: CAN be....not saying it always will be depending on the players and their builds and such. but that definitely makes them easier.

[naive solstice]

hmm, i see.

about talents, to skip critial, allegro and etc?

also, shock/fire bullets, how it works, you have them for magazine only or all bullets?

[loud saddle]

the way we saw it, when u purchase it, it's for like 30-60 bullets (can't remember which) for the current equipped (in your hand) weapon....so make sure to swap to desired weapon before accessing terminal and purchasing it.

i didn't know that at first and accidentally purchased it on my darn police m4, oof

[naive solstice]

well, bullet hell changes things cause theres no more magazine, so thats why im asking that

i know in OW its 30 bullets to equipped weapon

except elmo with 70 🤣

[lethal badge]

what's a good build to go on about countdown if we're unfortunate enough to get the hunter with immunity to debuff?

[real cypress]

probably just either go all red or FI to heal ur teammates

[snow trellis]

how do you farm for exotics?

[naive solstice]

just play. best imo

[snow trellis]

8 drop in 100 hours :)

[naive solstice]

i had about 6-8 drops a day, then i havent seen single one in a week

im not playing 24/h day so maybe that affects too

[foggy needle]

for most exotics by farming target loot. its still RNG though

[lethal badge]

gotcha

[shy gazelle]

Got a question... If I may.....
After reaching world tier 5, and clearing Black tusk Stronghold, do they refill Again with Black tusk? I mean The map will always be with Red areas?

[real cypress]

every week, BT will invade a specific part of the map

[shy gazelle]

But not all the map, right?

So there is no way to kill them all, or their leader or smth..

[foggy needle]

just sections of the map each week, it rotates, and no way to stop it

[shy gazelle]

@foggy needle oh I See, ok

[jade summit]

Is there no way to rejoin a descent lobby with your group if the game crashes?

[knotty pumice]

this is the proof as well

[rugged stratus]

Right now either golden bullet stars for exotic caches or countdown requisition exotic caches Is easiest farm

If you just need to build up exo components and you have enough shd for materials you can run a fresh agent into dc. Boost to 30 but stay in dc , share blueprint from crafting lady , then map> projects> shd weekly project > donate to get exotic cache.
Infinitely repeatable as long as you have mats. The food water or components that arent shared all have big plots close to lincoln memorial mission.

[storm river]

anyone got the chart for the new XP rewards from all the open world activities?

[loud saddle]

i do minus two activities, one second....

still can't get those mfing marauders to spawn when I need them. XD unreliable drones....I tell ya....

[rugged stratus]

I believed you. It's just a weird bug. I havent noticed if I was getting mine or not..

[rugged stratus]

If u see any today I'll note the xp 👍

[storm river]

thanks

[loud saddle]

thanks, I've been trying to recruit people now to keep an eye out for them on those two difficulties....they all up and vanished from the map. lol

[storm river]

i can keep an eye out

[loud saddle]

thanks, both of you big help if anyone sees them

[knotty pumice]

oh thanks - sorry was not implying that you didn't believe; was providing info as well if this was an issue for others

[loud saddle]

if you log out/back in does your key count go up at all?

[sour mortar]

So invaded missions with/without directives, is the highest. Noice

[next sail]

No but apparently there is a xp glitch that lets you join in lobbys
I do not know how it works

It might be bannable aswell

[sour mortar]

Excluding legendary missions.

[loud saddle]

raw number wise (in heroic) sure. but efficiency wise, might not be the best....gotta work with what activity is efficient for you. how quick u can get it done and repeat. etc.

[dense spoke]

What exactly does shooting the red canisters on the marauders / quadcopters do?

[rugged stratus]

Piss it off /s

[sour mortar]

True, what is the fastest xp rewarding activity on heroic?

[loud saddle]

the 4 blades just kinda stops it movement for a short period of time, while the weakpoint of the camera in middle bottom prevents it from targetting u for a short period of time IIRC. if incorrect someone will correct me im sure.

[sour mortar]

Missions is just easier in general…

[viscid dagger]

Best loop is public executions, do bounty and repeat

[loud saddle]

fastest probably public executions and propaganda (this is meh cause the forced time waiting) for the XP/time, but bounties and CPs are fairly quick depending on the location ofcourse.

[viscid dagger]

Or you can do all activities on the way to a control point

[rugged stratus]

EMP sticky works wonders on the murauder

[dense spoke]

Oh like the wearhound with red spots on its legs

Gotcha

[naive solstice]

what about lincoln? 10min run about 700-800k exp?

[sour mortar]

Thanks @loud saddle and @viscid dagger

[next sail]

Mission wise its the best choice but it will get boring real quick

[viscid dagger]

Honestly with how xp is rn in the open world
You can clear all activities and control points in the map
You don't really need to hunt down specific shit

[sour mortar]

Lincoln is insane for speedrunning it.

[viscid dagger]

Just do whatever pops up
Hell I did a supply drop for the first time in years yesterday

[naive solstice]

are you farming shd for fun or for levels? 😛 grinding isnt meant to be fun

[naive solstice]

indeed, when you learn all locations, its easy, i did mine fastes about 8 and half minutes on heroic 3 dir

[sour mortar]

Open world is noice for xp, but boring compared to a a mission or the other activities.

[rugged stratus]

Judging by the comments it seems like xp rebalance was successful at promoting other activities

[next sail]

Ain't nobody stopping you lol

[viscid dagger]

It was

[sour mortar]

Yes

[viscid dagger]

Do anything that pops up
Minus aerial recon ofc

[loud saddle]

I cleared my entire map(s) of CPs just because and that put me roughly 50 +/- levels higher than I was when I started, lol.

figured why not, worth clearing the map once every so often

[viscid dagger]

I always start with solar farm cuz of the mats

Then go from there

[loud saddle]

now done with the season lvls shrug lol. after the first 20 or so levels from first target and the boost, then the CPs, then a decent run or two....I was at 97, so finished it last night so I could focus on farming on HC dude.

[dense spoke]

Goal for me with golden bullet is to hit SDH 500, need 200 more levels

[inner tendon]

You also get a backpack charm for holding all the DC map at once.

chess pieces, of course.

[viscid dagger]

You'll be grinding anyways next week for levels
It's apparel event time

[dense spoke]

What does that do

This is my first season playing

[viscid dagger]

It's apparel items you get for playing the game
Basically new clothing pieces

[loud saddle]

wooo, apparel grind \o/ 1 key per 4 levels, non-repeating apparel rewards from event caches, with usually completion rewards for outfits....

[viscid dagger]

This one kinda looks cool
Hopefully there's some pieces I like

[inner tendon]

Most Apparel Events are best thought of as pick-and-mix.
You'll get some neat bits that you can add to your favourite outfit for sure.

[viscid dagger]

Yea Altough I absolutely hated every piece on the Fairview crew apparent event

Didn't even complete a single outfit

[dense spoke]

How many hunter masks are available in-game? 25?

[storm river]

@loud saddle divide by two, since ive got 4 directives on and youve got for heroic

[loud saddle]

26? I think.... 24 open world hunters, 1 from manhunt hunter, 1 from holiday summit hunters....uhm....

[finite rock]

How many blue cores for a HF firewall

[loud saddle]

ty ty

[storm river]

25 easter egg hunters, +adamant, deceit, stinger and one seasonal one i dont know the name of

[dense spoke]

Okay that's sounds about right because I got the one from the manhunt and that was a horrible time

[loud saddle]

i might be forgetting something else too but I thought that was it

[sour mortar]

Apparel makes division, The division

[simple nexus]

what's the cap of the cool down timer for the skills? I searched google and can't find anything of each individual skill and last I knew the subreddit is dark still in protest and looking at the skills themselves in the game doesn't tell me what's the maximum cool down that a skill can have (example Scanner Pulse cool down cap is 10 seconds)

[storm river]

hmmmm. from a control point supply room

[dense spoke]

Good feeling when you get 2 blueprints from a control point

[storm river]

FINALLY!!!

[loud saddle]

\o/ congrats mate

[storm river]

also whend they change dr home??

[loud saddle]

this season/update

[storm river]

oh

looks way better imo

[loud saddle]

yeah, they revised a few weapons in this update

[deep surge]

How do i access old seasonal manhunt targets?

[loud saddle]

you can revisit the corresponding mission/location and toggle the mission mode to manhunt.

[deep surge]

i see

[loud saddle]

but you must have earned them via the rewards track in the season to unlock them.

[deep surge]

have done so

im gonna go shoot ms lau

or i assume i am lol

[loud saddle]

\o/

[deep surge]

i changed the diff to story

hm

it was the only one available

[dense spoke]

Is it worth doing old manhunts that I missed? I've only done season 11 manhunt

[nimble spruce]

Have to toggle mission mode to get the manhunt versions

[deep surge]

wdym

[nimble spruce]

Eg for Faye Lau, go to camp white oak, at the floating mission options thing look for the 'toggle mission mode' prompt

[nimble spruce]

Some give new skills, other than that it's just for variety

[deep surge]

there we are

for some reason it bugged out and would only let me try do story basic, which in turn broke itself

dunno why

[wintry cave]

So with the XP changes this season, did they fix the trick where you swap all the directives on right before finishing an activity to get all the bonus XP?

[nimble spruce]

For the regular version of the mission you have to run story difficulty before it will let you run higher difficulties (same for the other off-site missions like pentagon, zoo etc)

[nimble spruce]

Never heard that one mentioned before, doesn't changing directives reset the map and put you back in a safe house?

[deep surge]

Yeah, but ive ran it before..;.

[storm river]

ffs i need vile 😭

[wintry cave]

Yeah but you could finish the activity before it reset in the like 10 second window to get the bonus XP.

[open hollow]

Has Rattigan been removed from Coney Island's amusement park? One of the rats are missing

[dense spoke]

I did the one in Coney Island where I got hunter mask and a shock trap

[wintry cave]

So you could do the entire activity without the directives making it easier and then swap them on right before the end to get the +125% XP, I was just wondering if they fixed it or not since they revamped all the XP sources.

[fresh junco]

Seems like a really inefficient way to get exp. If map changes, then have to change back to get rid of directives again, wait for activities to spawn again. You could get more exp just doing the activities without directives than switching and wasting so much time.

[wintry cave]

Seems to still work.

[stuck lance]

why not just do them with 5 directives on all the time, it's easy.

[wintry cave]

The best way to do it is with rescue operations (Not as good now with the nerf to XP from them) You kill all the stuff, swap all directives on, free the hostage and then swap all the directives off again before the map resets and then you will spawn at the nearby checkpoint where another operation will be available again.

[wintry cave]

Its like 10x easier without directives, I at least cant run around with all the directives active all the time without taking much longer to complete activities and thats if I dont die in the process.

[fresh junco]

Will stick to all directives all the time. If it looks like an exploit it probably is one.

[stuck lance]

just run a sniper build, you one shot everything anyways. it's the same difficulty with or without 5 directives

with every other build, just run 4 directives without ammo hoard.

[wintry cave]

been able to do this for multiple seasons and there are tons of highly viewed videos online about it, the devs 100% know about it but havent fixed it yet so I dont think they care, its not like you are getting more XP than normal either, just much easier for the people like me who dont have prefect builds.

[stuck lance]

you mean running butchers "click bait" videos? switching on and off directives at the last second isnt really a glitch, more like a clever way to use the system. it's annoying to do, but works in certain areas very effectively.

[wintry cave]

Idk who butcher is but pretty much yes.

Its not a glitch, just using the current game mechanics to your advantage.

[polar arch]

New gear set just dropped

[stuck lance]

?

[real cypress]

whats the buff?

[polar arch]

"No"

[stuck lance]

that's an experimental piece, not suppose to be in the game yet.

[thorn hedge]

how do you get them lol

[deep surge]

random drops

[thorn hedge]

ah

[deep surge]

i got one

[wintry cave]

I kinda want to get this, where did it drop for you?

[thorn hedge]

i want the full set

[deep surge]

same, but the chances are very random from what i can tell

spent a little while grinding yesterday for some specific gear and didnt get one

[polar arch]

I was doing true sons control points, like I started with the broken plane one and went all the way left to that last one

[stuck lance]

you cant farm for something that wasn't meant to be in the game yet lol, you get one from opening caches too

[deep surge]

yeah i think i got mine from CP too

[wintry cave]

I hope that I can get one to drop before they remove it lol.

[polar arch]

Also, did they fix determined yet? I don't wanna farm the set if they fixed it already

[deep surge]

Wdym by fix

[polar arch]

The normal version was working like before they changed it, triggering it from each kill, not needing another headshot

[deep surge]

hm idk

i use it and dont pay attention

too busy killing stuff

[wintry cave]

I think so, I remember reading something about determined in the patch notes but Im not 100% sure.

[polar arch]

Yes, they fixed it but now it's broken again, I'd check in the trello but I don't have a link

[wintry cave]

Seems to only be activated by skills now, trello says

"[Gear] The Determined Talent is triggered and canceled by using Damage skills"

Here is the link to the trello if you want to check it yourself

[fierce raven]

did they rework roosvelt stronghold?

[wispy merlin]

don't think so?

[inner tendon]

It's the same.
There's 3 different versions of it, all pretty much the same with mildly different paths and encounters.
Base, Invaded, and Manhunt.

[nimble spruce]

regular determined is back in 'horribly OP' mode again, perfect determined is still nerfed

[fierce raven]

nah cuz i had to find other way around in invaded

[wispy merlin]

yeah, invaded is structured differently from normal

[inner tendon]

Yes, that would be the "mildly different paths and encounters" part I mentioned.

[wispy merlin]

but they haven't been reworked, it's just different from the get-go

[loud saddle]

@naive solstice this? or you looking for diff info?

[naive solstice]

yes, isnt the picture that i saw, from ubi official i think, but this will do! thank you

[loud saddle]

well the one from ubi official includes the kill xp as well, so kinda misleading sorta

but I know which one you're referring to

[naive solstice]

i know

question, if you know, does directive % apply on npc kill too? or just objective itself?

[loud saddle]

this one

just the activity itself, kill XP per enemy stays the same

[naive solstice]

hmm, alright

yes, that one, thank you! specifically to see the changes in % is this one

what, they buffed CP 3?

[loud saddle]

yeah, things changed across the board. some things got buffs, some got nerfs

[fierce raven]

yup

[next sail]

Finally did it with a group of 3
Next challenge team of 4

[loud saddle]

\o/

[fierce raven]

golden bullet doubles the rpm?

[naive solstice]

not double i think but increases a lot yes, and reload speed is increased too

i think damage is affected too, basically, its god mode event

[fierce raven]

cuz i got 1000rpm elmo

so i was wondering if i get 2000rpm

[weak hare]

Tips to get Coyotes mask quicker? Ive been grinding for days but no succes yet

[fierce raven]

jefferson trade center challanging

[naive solstice]

that would be about 34bullets per second man, be real

[next sail]

It increases everything
Accuracy stability rpm damage reload speed etc

[weak hare]

Ill try

[naive solstice]

probably will be like that pulse cooldown stat 100% but you still have 9sec cooldown 😄

[next sail]

You were right about the weekly challenge btw
Got an exotic cache from it
And no re-cal again
So just has a random chance to drop lol

[naive solstice]

also, how to increase RPM?

[fierce raven]

rate of fire

[loud saddle]

that's a shame...was hoping I was wrong but yeah. 😥

[next sail]

Striker and there is another gear set i can't remember

And gunner's +5% fire rate on kill

[naive solstice]

ah yes, striker gives handling which increases all stuff

[supple oasis]

whats the best build this szn?

im currently usiong heartbreaker with EB

[fierce raven]

try cavalier if u go pvp

[supple oasis]

pve

[fierce raven]

then stick with it

[naive solstice]

eclipse and dps

eclipse is fun and inexpensive

[supple oasis]

eclipse build yeah ill check it

[next sail]

Best builds are listed in the spreadsheet

#td2-build-advice message

[naive solstice]

is that spreadsheet updated?

[next sail]

No

[naive solstice]

xD

[next sail]

[supple oasis]

how do i get st elmos engine :P

[fierce raven]

season lvl 90

😛

[foggy needle]

yes see 1st page of it

[fierce raven]

yo this real ?

conflict weapon in countdown ?

[loud saddle]

the CD vendor can sell weapons/gear from multiple sources....not limited to LZ only gear.

[bronze viper]

Hey
Where can i do black tusk activities?

[fierce raven]

should i keep the elmo like this ? i want to farm next one where i do the reconstruct thing with it

i feel like this one is op cuz in battle it gets 1062 rpm

feels like minigun

[fierce raven]

they are red marked on map

[bronze viper]

@fierce raven no control points correct?

[fierce raven]

yup

only now in manhunt there is one but its only for this manhunt

[foggy needle]

reroll it for dtooc as 3rd stat, (much better then ROF)

[bronze viper]

Weekly it say that i need complete 4 black tusk activities. I don't know where

[fierce raven]

mostly public executions

bounties with black tusks counts too

territory controls

[bronze viper]

Pff

Thanks you. I willl try

[fierce raven]

dis W ?

[foggy needle]

yup thats much better

rof 3rd stat sadly cant compete with dtooc

[fierce raven]

i though rpm is better cuz u shoot faster and i have great aiming skills

[viscid dagger]

You want DTOOC

[foggy needle]

its not better

[viscid dagger]

Oh nvm he got it

[foggy needle]

rof is only 5% dtooc is 10% double the strength of rof

[fierce raven]

costed me like 48 exotics components and 3 god rolled

[untold turtle]

I keep stucking at this creen. Nothing shows up i can

i can't close it.

[loud saddle]

even if holding esc?

[nimble spruce]

hold esc for a few seconds

[naive solstice]

did you try to shut down and up?

[untold turtle]

oh holding esc helpt. i were just clicking it. thanks guys

and what is the purpose of the screen if it's not working?

am i doing something wrong? i have ultimate edition + purchased the battle pass

[loud saddle]

nah, just a bug, not doing anything wrong....but don't visit the rewards screen via the on screen prompt in corner (the one that says like hold blank for rewards) while ur running around

[nimble spruce]

you can get there without bugging by opening season menu and scrolling all the way to the right

[untold turtle]

i see thanks a lot guys

[loud saddle]

^ kettle the kitchenware with the knowledge

[untold turtle]

the game is a blast so far. only thing i dont like is constant cheater screams ewerywhere in darkzone. so i dont go there 😦

[snow trellis]

simply aweful

[snow trellis]

there are cheaters?

[cedar schooner]

Tbh I think it’s like every other game where people get beat and they don’t like it or understand why so they assume it’s a cheater. There’s definitely cheaters but I don’t think they’re as common as some people would like to think

[polar arch]

Should I keep maxed out dmg to armor or keep trying to get dttoc on my Elmo's?

[foggy needle]

dtooc

[polar arch]

Thanks!

[foggy needle]

dta is okay but dtooc is much better

[polar arch]

Got it 2 reconfig after lol, 9% tho

[dense spoke]

That's gonna be expensive to optimize

[polar arch]

^

[untold turtle]

i haven't seen any personally in game since i haven't played darkzone but i'm certain there are bunch. i do not want to go to the details but there is even legal cheat that you can buy in amazon. most of the games have already patched it but dont think it goes for division. EAC (easy anti cheat) is really good anti cheat but since other aaa game companies use it aswell whenever someone finds a flaw in a system of a anti cheat they use it on every game.

[naive solstice]

hehee whats this? 😄

[untold turtle]

ye feels bad. that's the only reason why i don't play dz. i don't want to feed some greasy person doing what he is doing. literally best pvp system that one can imagine yet some ..... decides to take a fun away.

i mean it happens in rust aswell. but they get almost insta banned. not in division. in their last podcast developer said they have a big plans about cheaters in coming 4 5 months. let's hope they will implement something similar to overwatch system like in dota 2

[faint flare]

am I the only one who thinks this double Companion/St.Elmo's is making the DZ trash???

[bronze viper]

Where can i do Black Tusk?

[faint flare]

look for Black Tusk bounties or activities on the map related to Black Tusk

[bronze viper]

@faint flare I don't know what symbol of them

I spent hour and nothing

[past spoke]

can you still replay raids even if you've already beat them that week on that character?

[loud saddle]

if looking at the map most of the activities for black tusk will not have a red line leading from them to a CP (as outside of manhunt they wont be tied to a control point), so look for activities without a line.

[past spoke]

diamond with a line down the middle

[faint flare]

diamond with line and smaller diamond

[sudden fulcrum]

where do i get the tubular mag for shotguns?

[faint flare]

I cannot play in the DZ until this Henri GS Companion/St.Elmo's thing gets fixed ASAP

[sudden fulcrum]

i know its thru like side quests or projects but still havnt seen one

or am i missing something and should have had it sooner

[bronze viper]

This

@past spoke @faint flare

[sudden fulcrum]

ayeee i just killed that dweeb

[past spoke]

that isn't a diamond my guy

[faint flare]

NOOOO that's Hyenas

[faint flare]

yes

THAT symbol

[bronze viper]

Oh thanks you so much

[somber nymph]

If you hover over the different activities, it’ll also tell you which ones have black tusk there.

[dense spoke]

The black tusk usually hangout around tidal bisan

Like right in front of the stronghold there's multiple activities involving the black tusk

[amber snow]

im not getting apparel keys for leveling up

[past spoke]

do i have to disable golden bullet to participate in john league?

[amber snow]

nope

[naive solstice]

target loot on areas, not missions, affect all activities in that area?

[loud saddle]

yes, that entire district

[amber snow]

Know anything about not getting apparel keys on lvl up?

[nimble spruce]

yeah lots of people reporting that last couple of days

[naive solstice]

ty

[knotty crest]

do chatterbox parts have chance to drop from any hyena caches ?

[snow trellis]

it is not easy to bypass easy anti cheat

whats the best place to farm for The White Death Sniper?
is it a good sniper to begin with?
I have been seeing many running with it today

[dim crag]

Sniper TL, best High End sniper

[snow trellis]

wht

what is sniper TL?

[dim crag]

Sniper target loot

[snow trellis]

I have mantis

[dim crag]

You can also use that

Way better if you're solo sniping

[snow trellis]

it feels like I am using a stinger or Javelin launcher lol

[dim crag]

But you will want a Nemesis and White Death for group play

[snow trellis]

I accidentally gave nemesis to cal station. no idea where I got it from

its a pity there is no stealth in the game

[snow trellis]

does that work for Exotics too?

[olive hearth]

you get nemesis from crafting a blueprint

at least normally

not sure if you can get nemesis from targeted loot or exotic caches, at least ive never gotten one from it yet

[snow trellis]

I dont see bp for it in my station. that means I havent found the bp yet?

[olive hearth]

you get the blueprint from Washington hotel invaded mission

[true siren]

nemesis is a quest exotic, its only added to target loot when you get the blueprint (requires a few weeks or a really lucky week of invasions to get the blueprint)

[snow trellis]

how to get it to be invaded lol

[olive hearth]

its random every week, depending if the black tusks feel like it

[snow trellis]

oh dear

in all your game time, what has been the most effective way of farming for exotic gears? I am specifically looking for Momento to test my current build with it and get rid of ninja

[true siren]

memento not momento

[olive hearth]

just exotic caches and countdown for more credits to buy more exotic cache

[snow trellis]

typo

[snow trellis]

SERIOSULY??

[olive hearth]

summit with targeted loot on challenging is also an option

[snow trellis]

🥹 🔫

[olive hearth]

i farmed for my scorpio using that method over a 3 hour climb

i was extremely lucky lol

[snow trellis]

lvl 69 challenging 4 directives not a single exotics so far

[dense spoke]

Can I recraft the holster exotic ? If I already crafted it

[snow trellis]

I got scorpio from crafting bench. bp was there and I just craft it

very early in game

[olive hearth]

challenging is 5% exotic drop and heroic is 7% exotic drop chance, pick your poison really

[snow trellis]

the moment I hit lvl 40

[olive hearth]

you can reconfigure it i think, are you talking bout dodge city holster?

[snow trellis]

so if you set countdown to bag targeted then buy exotic cashes it will be bag inside? or RNGEUS?

[olive hearth]

caches are pure rng

[somber nymph]

Rng

[true siren]

loot in countdown- bag targeted
cache- free for all

[snow trellis]

whats the exo drop rate on countdown?

challenging or heroic

[true siren]

high enough to see one every few, low enough so you specifically never see one

[snow trellis]

good 1

[snow trellis]

explain RNG in one sentence

[true siren]

"everyone else is getting what i want"

[snow trellis]

this is a cry me a river, build a bridge and cross over it moment lol

[dense spoke]

Yes I already have one made but I have mats to craft another

[foggy needle]

exact drop rates for lots of things are not known FYI. only official thing has been the general world drop rate of exos

[dense spoke]

The exotic parts and holsters

[snow trellis]

no one data mined the game yet?

[foggy needle]

yes but that info hasnt been easy to get outside of normal non countdown non target loot

% chance has been mined for mission boss drop, normal named difficulty %, some old exotics, partial target loot and i think thats it

[snow trellis]

i see

Yeah that float % changes everytime

[foggy needle]

and then of course the official info release on normal global % chance for exos

[snow trellis]

never the same, never static, since it is not based on an integer modal

Float % should be carved under the Ubisoft logo

If you look for 50% in the game using memory search it will result in a number like 15325269234214 lol which is ever changing like a living organism

the odd part is that they made EXOTICS really hard to get yet not many hardcore players use them

[olive hearth]

if you have the materials to craft another dodge city holster, put your first/original holster into the inventory of a 2nd character (just make sure its not in ur stash or on the character you are trying to craft the holster) then you can recraft

[snow trellis]

a teammate was running this build and she was shredding everything

[olive hearth]

a fenris glove?

[snow trellis]

yeah. the one above is kneepads

vast

Holster

bag

glove

shotty

[olive hearth]

you dont need to screenshot everything lol, its basically striker build

with 1 blue armor core to reach 1mil armor

you should check the gun and see how much expertise bonus he has on the weapon

[snow trellis]

yeah well I am learning builds and cant memorize them on the go. I am getting a ton of named green gears and have no idea what to keep and what to dump (it happened in Div 1 as well before I figured it out)

I mean look at my stash lol (172 green gear saved to be figured out later)

I bet most of you know exactly what is useful and what is not :D

After memento I am going to learn about Status Effect. I wonder if it is PVE or PVP build

[olive hearth]

ultimately what is useful will depend on your playstyle or what you find interesting

there is no better lesson than, try it out yourself first

[snow trellis]

honestly... I am a rusher and dont have the patience to lay back and pick enemies off one at a time from long range so I am having a serious problem to balance offence with survivability

[olive hearth]

see im not a striker person, i hate stacking, so 6 red negotiator is my go to dps

even though other ppl swear by striker, its just not for me

[snow trellis]

have you ever tried it?

[olive hearth]

yep, i tried to get it to work, i cant get my stacks high enough without a shotgun, and if im that close to an enemy with shotgun im probably dead if sneezed at

[snow trellis]

ahh all red

[olive hearth]

heartbreaker was much better for me, though i can feel its weaker than striker

[nimble spruce]

nego is also very strong when used properly, you're not missing out by much

[olive hearth]

ultimately just played negotiator, worked best so i just deconstructed my other gear sets and left one copy of each piece in stash
